Fashion Revue 2016
“Hoe Down, Sew Down” was this year's County Fashion Revue theme. We had over 50 entries and 20 participants, with great outfits, accessories, and textiles of western fashion. We had 11 different categories for our 4H members to choose from and they were: Textile, Needle Arts, Quilted, $40 Purchased, Traditional, Embellished, Accessories, Potholder County Challenge, Upcycled and State Challenges – Muslin Challenge and Western Shirt Challenge. The fabric for the County Challenge was an assortment of fun patterns for potholders.
Each member who participated in the event wore an outfit that they sewed, purchased, or created, if it was in the embellished or entered in the non-wearable category. Modeling before the judges was first on the agenda, where each member would explain how they created their outfit. If they entered the Purchased category, they needed to explain how much money they spent for their outfit and accessories, what the amount saved was and how versatile the outfit would be with the rest of their wardrobe. Last but not least, the County Challenge category showed potholders to be proud of and used in the home. A fashion Design contest was held along with a Knowledge and Judging contest.
Congratulations to all who participated, you were outstanding and showed a lot of confidence with what you created for this year's County Fashion Revue!
A big Thank You to our judges: Astrid, Krista, Mary, Melissa, Stacie, Stefanie, Savannah, Bella, Missy and our room monitor Blake!
Thank You to the CCC Executive Board for funding this event and giving our county's 4H members a Fun Day of Fashion!

Clothing & Textile Knowledge and Judging Contest
A new contest this year at the 2016 Sonoma County Fashion Revue was the Clothing & Textile Knowledge and Judging Contest. This was a written test with multiple choice, true/false, matching, and fill-in questions about fibers, parts of a sewing machine, color theory, laundry care symbols, sewing tools, basic hand stitches, and pattern symbols. There were also three judging classes titled "machine sewn hems", "thread choice for fabric", and "fabric choice for project".
Results:
Juniors:
First - Tenlee Leone, Two Rock 4-H
Second - Hannah Campanile, Two Rock 4-H
Third - Peter Sittenauer, Sequoia 4-H
Fourth - Lily Anne Roberts, Two Rock 4-H
Intermediates:
First - Caroline Hampton, Madrone 4-H
Second - Corrianna Edwards, Steuben 4-H
Third - Emily Lavell, Gateway 4-H
Fourth - Emily Manners, Steuben 4-H
Fashion Design Contest
The Fashion Design Contest was another new contest at this year's Fashion Revue. Participants used their creative skills on paper to draw a full outfit. They used the same croquis (template) to create their person and then added their own unique outfits. We received 11 entries and these wonderful unique creations were judged by the people's choice voting method. In the Intermediate age group: Gianna Giovannini Lovell of Gateway 4-H won first, Jaylee Edwards of Steuben 4-H won second, and Emily Lavell of Gateway 4-H won third.
Thanks again to all who helped make this year an amazing success. We hope to see you next year!

We are interested to find out if local 4H programs ever have volunteers that bring their goat(s) or sheep to clear fields (or large patches) of grasses and weeds? Our small non-profit preschool is struggling with the weed growth around our grounds, this year. And, someone mentioned that frequently members of 4H are asked to do volunteer work/community service and this might be something they'd be interested in bringing their animals to do.
Please let me know if there's someone better to speak with. And/or if this is something that a 4H member might be interested in.
Warmly,

We are looking for a bunny. It's a unique situation, as I run Brush Creek Nursery School in Rincon Valley. We are looking for a small, friendly bunny (a Rex has been a perfect match for us several times). The bunny lives in a hutch in an unused fireplace, but a special pen outdoors with grass is a place the bunny would often be taken to. We have 105 preschoolers (3-5) who are waiting for a happy, gentle bunny to join our school. We would prefer a young bunny and it must have the kind of temperament that is compatible with young children wanting to love on it. Male or female.
I can be contacted at 707 539-1612. Any leads you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Our beloved bunny Tuxedo passed away two months ago, and we are ready to start again with a new furry friend.
Thank you!
